## Usage

### Loading the Dataset

**Available on [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Jr23xd23/rightnow-arabic-llm-corpus)**

**Python (Recommended)**
```python
import json

# Load the main dataset
articles = []
with open('arabic_wikipedia_cleaned.jsonl', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    for line in f:
        article = json.loads(line)
        articles.append(article)

print(f"Loaded {len(articles)} articles")
```

**Hugging Face Datasets**
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load from Hugging Face Hub
dataset = load_dataset('Jr23xd23/rightnow-arabic-llm-corpus')
